Chapter 1: What happened with Dan and the bird?
Roy, you know that moment when you're out watching puck and the server comes over and asks the table, what can I get you guys? And everyone freezes up. You know what you should do? What should I do, Mike? You've got to have some confidence. Or as Jagermeister calls it, shotfidence. I love it. If everyone's struggling, take control. Just order for the whole table.
Chapter 2: Why is Jagermeister best served ice cold?
A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold. At zero degrees Fahrenheit. Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes, regular hockey, not as great.
Not floor hockey. Ice hockey, real good. Damn right. Wherever you are, if you're hanging with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister.
Damn, that's cold. And remember to check Jagermeister out at DraftKingsXJagermeister.com.
Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.
Cuervo.
Cuervo.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Now that I think about it, I think I have to concede that it stinks as a superhero catchphrase. I happen to have a few questions for you. But it works for a TV detective. Pablo Torre wandering the earth, I happen to have a few questions for you, is something I think now in sports journalism, people don't want to hear if Pablo Torre is sniffing around trying to find out.

Chapter 3: What are the challenges facing ice cream trucks today?
With the amount of convenience that we have everywhere, I would assume the ice cream truck business is hurting, even though driving through your neighborhood still makes it more convenient on something that can melt than DoorDash or anything else you were ordering. But would you not assume that the ice cream truck business is a harder way to make a living now than it's ever been?
No, I would think it's thriving. In fact, I think ice cream trucks had their best year ever last year. I'll check it out at icecreamtrucks.com. But I'm pretty certain, Dan, they had their best sales year of all time last year. I think they're picking up steam.
Dan, we watched a report back here from Inside Edition about the state of the ice cream truck in America. Business is not good. Inflation is hitting them hard. The rising prices of fuel, the rising prices of ice cream, the rising prices of sugar, all of these staples that are required. And then you factor in that, you know, kids don't go outside anymore, right? They're on their devices.
They're playing video games. They don't come outside. We used to play outside. That was the whole point of ice cream truck. You're playing outside, and then you hear that sound. Ice cream! Ice cream! The ice cream man is coming!
I think that's over. I don't think that's happening in neighborhoods anymore.
Well, there's also a territory war amongst ice cream trucks. There is, yeah. They take it very seriously. You can't just drive around with an ice cream truck willy-nilly. You have to kind of get in and talk to the right people and let the heads of the ice cream underworld know that you're now in the ice cream business. And should they accept you then, okay, but should they not?
Don't let them catch you on those streets.
Very territorial. Very territorial.
Dan, in 2023, the global ice cream truck market was valued at $2.27 billion. It goes up about 3% every year. It should be valued at over $300 million by the year 2030. Ice cream truck's doing just fine, man.

Chapter 4: How has fatherhood affected video game time?
So I would play a lot of video games, right? My wife was working, she's now home 24 seven and when your wife's home 24 seven, you don't really have enough time to go out and play video games because she's always watching what you're doing to make sure that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing and helping the baby, doing the dishes, all that stuff.
So I would play video games and then I told the boys here, don't worry, when the baby's little, she's gonna be sleeping and guess what dad gets to do while the baby's sleeping? Play a little video games. And we laughed at you. What I didn't realize
is that i have to watch said baby while she sleeps as a nervous father for the first month and make sure that everything is good even though we have the little outlets telling your temperature it's telling this and that i need to have eyes on just to make sure that everything's good so play time decreased i played once on a saturday morning when she slept in a little bit but yeah i haven't logged in in about two months but there's still people asking hey are you playing are you your lsu tigers are doing well like what's the deal and i didn't respond to
It's been a tough five months, Dan. I don't know if you can tell.
What did you think fatherhood was going to be? Easy. I rarely hear the dad right before.
He's like, I'm going to have a lot of free time coming up.
Again, I thought I was going to be able to manage said free time around baby sleeping. That did not happen. But as a man of understanding, hey, I can understand when I'm wrong and when I... I should have listened to Billy and others that had kids and said, you're not going to have that kind of time. I should have listened. I didn't. But you know what? It's a learning process, Dan.
That's all it is.
Congratulations on learning that your time is no longer your own.

Chapter 5: What is the connection between Giannis and the Toronto Raptors?
That is also me. I will tell you that what I do more, I think, than any other action in the world is deny that I was sleeping while emerging from snoring.
It's great.
When I'm on the couch and we're watching something and then it's – you know it's bad when you're like –
And the snore wakes you up. You're like, what was that? I am so tired that I am waking myself up with my own snore, startling myself, and then immediately lapsing into lying. Who was that?
I wish my dad woke up from snoring. That dude just snores, like it's so loud, how is he not awake? Forget about the sound, the feeling in the back of his stomach, it's like a chainsaw.
I wanted to ask the group here if you had the same reaction that I did, which I thought was funny to have this reaction, where I see the report, Giannis having a mutual interest with the Toronto Raptors, and I'm like, that's not real. Mm hmm. That's not the Raptors and not a possibility for any free agent under any circumstances who has every option.
The choice is not going to be to be to leave America. However, at the moment, the choice might be Canada, given what's happening in America, because I heard an awful lot of threats that people were going to move to Canada if there was a new presidency. I have not seen yet. A lot of moving to Canada, though I have seen a lot of moving to Britain.
I still don't, I can't get my head around the Toronto Raptors are going to get the coveted free agent. I don't believe that story.
Well, you believe this part of it, that Toronto has interest. It's Giannis' interest that you have a hard time believing.

Chapter 6: What was Stugatz's bold prediction about Hido Turkoglu?
Kawhi Leonard.
No, no, but trade. That was a one-year rental.
So this is a two-year rental. I don't know what you're doing. I'm sorry. He's under contract. He's not under contract for five years. He's got options. He can go wherever he wants. He wants to get traded, and this is a place that is a trade destination. You're right, and free agents don't go to Canada historically, but players have been traded there, and that happens.
The biggest free agent contract they've ever given out, 2009, Hito Turkoglu, five-year, $53 million. Hito. It was a sign in trade, but he signed with them.
He was coming off an NBA Finals appearance. Remember, he hit the game winner against the Cavs. Ron McGill is going to join us right now. I will tell you one of the most shocking takes that we've ever had around here that flew under the radar. As soon as the Orlando Magic got Hidu Turkoglu, Stugatz proclaimed that the best starting lineup in the history of basketball.
It was some starting five, man. I mean, go look it up. He wasn't lying.
Jameer Nelson at the one.
I know.
Was it Rashard Lewis on that team?
